We started off with the Senate’s consideration of the evil “Respect for Marriage Act,” which, of course, is the Disrespect for Marriage Act, and how the LDS leadership in Salt Lake City capitulated on basic Christian belief on the matter by favoring the passage of the bill. Then we took great calls on what it is to be Reformed, the need to be part of the local church, Matthew 24:36 and what the “hour” is referring to, a great call from Mwansa in Lusaka, Zambia on dealing with the “cage stage,” and finally Matthew asking about the salvation of “all of Israel.” I directed Matthew to this sermon I preached at Apologia Church recently, and this sermon delivered by Dr. Sam Waldron. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC
James White, , Christian Worldview, Misc, Pastoral Theology, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters
Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be “usual” for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new “thing” to be all excited about, “The PWC,” the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central

No DL Today: Plague Sweeps A&O Headquarters!
James White, , The Dividing Line
OK, not quite the plague, but Rich has had this sinus stuff since Monday, and I got it Tuesday. I told him to stay home and rest, and I will take it easy while packing for my trip to Santa Fe. I surely pray I won’t have any problems speaking this weekend at Discern 09! I’m on the “downside” of

From Jihad to Jesus
James White, , The Dividing Line
We went over the entirety of Ergun Caner’s testimony played on Monday’s Focus on the Family broadcast on the program today. Given how this story is moving into a national platform outside of the Christian community, at least there will be documentation that 1) serious and open attempts were made to call for accountability, and 2) the intentions of those

Many thanks to the inventers of Ibuprofen I managed to make it through the DL today with the help of some good callers. Also gave a brief report on the trip to St. Louis. Here’s the program.

6th Canon of Nicea, MBTS’s Triggering Book Display Examined
James White, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Eastern Orthodoxy, Personal, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
Had a little bit of tech difficulty at the start, so I am not completely certain how long we went, but we spent the first part of the program going more in depth on the 6th Canon of Nicea in response to Michael Lofton’s amazing response on YouTube. Basically, we documented that Rome dogmatically tells her apologists what to find

Dr. Carter Responds
James White, , Christian Worldview
Many have been asking about any developments in the situation my daughter Summer encountered in having a philosophy professor who accused her parents of “lying” to her regarding the authorship of the gospels (though, of course, he hasn’t a clue what she was taught on the subject to begin with: Carter assumes everyone who believes God can speak with clarity

Speaking the Truth Is Dangerous Today/More on Jimmy Akin and Sola Scriptura
James White, , Christian Worldview, Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line
The first half hour was focused on three videos most of us saw over the past week, looking at the tremendous problems in the black community in Chicago related to violence and crime, and how all of it goes back to fatherlessness and a fundamental rejection of God’s law concerning the family and sexual activity. Then in the second half

On Tuesday’s Dividing Line…
James White, , The Dividing Line
Started off reading parts of this article, commented on the King of the Blogosphere, centuri0n, giving me a Wooden Nickel Award for being the Meanest Calvinist on the Net, then continued working on the Ehrman NPR materials and more of Ahmed Deedat, this time from his debate with Shorrosh. One call included questions on dichotomy vs. trichotomy and who should
